More popular than ever， gardening is going green with the rise in interest in environmentally friendly gardening。

Gardening is trending， and today's gardeners are embracing ecologically sound principles--conserving water; avoiding invasives; reducing chemicals; supporting wildlife; and reviving time-tested， organic practices。 Featuring sites across a variety of climates and conditions， this book includes private and public gardens created with style and elegance where the goal is to work with， rather than against， nature--opting for plants suited to the site， using organic methods， supporting birds and pollinators， etc。

Interspersed throughout are stand-alone essays focused on key topics: meadows and prairie gardens; the importance of trees; structure and hardscaping; ornamental grasses; overcoming site challenges
（xeriscaping， rain gardens， excess shade， less than ideal soils）。

With over thirty-five gardens from across the globe--America， Britain， Europe， Morocco， New Zealand， Thailand， Japan， the Caribbean--alongside photographs by leading garden photographers， including Clive Nichols， Marianne Majerus， Richard Bloom， Andrea Jones， and Alessio Mei， the book showcases the beauty and visual impact produced by eco-friendly garden principles。
